Sorry, but given your undergraduate grades and your GMAT, I think you are aiming too high with all your target programs even thought they are appropriate given your goal. They are all significant stretches. Would you consider retaking the GMAT?

Thanks for your reply Linda.

I am open to retaking the GMAT. Only on the GMAT front, what score do you think would make these schools a reach rather than a stretch for me? Say, Median GMAT score for these schools of around 720?Also, considering my present GMAT score and my career goals, which schools do u feel would be reach, sweet spot for me?

A balanced 720 would enhance your chances at all these programs and make you a competitive candidate.
